AVGN Movie AVAILABLE NOW! (Vimeo On-Demand)

We are looking into additional outlets for online distribution, but all the others take much longer to process. In the future, we expect to have the movie available on some other sites too.

Also, the DVD/Blu-ray is in production. It will include a feature-length Behind-The-Scenes documentary, outtakes, deleted/extended scenes, a commentary track, some surprises, and the feature movie in 5.1 surround sound. We expect to have it ready by November/December.

Happy birthday my friend, now it’s time to STFU and rent it if you want to see it. It takes times and money to make a movie… It’s the least you can do, give him something for the fun you will have when you will watch it.

Lol Patrice… I am not insinuating that the movie should be free, because I will be gladly paying to see it. HOWEVER… Let’s remember who actually paid to have the movie made. WE DID. And now we get to pay for it again.

Let the money ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL in. Donald Trump is envious of the level of greed.

@GuardianAuron He didn’t profit whatsoever off of the donations for the movie; he actually used them for the budget and most likely spent more than he received.

@George I never insinuated he profited off the donations at all. I mean, none of us here can say definitively what happened to the $325,000 other than the government taking a large portion of it. But again, that wasn’t my point anyway. We… Paid for the movie. Fact.

@GuardianAuron

You paid to finance the movie. That much was made clear from the start, man. If it wasn’t, the fact that none of the donation tiers included a copy should have tipped you off.

Seems to me like your disappointment is your own fault.

@GuardianAuron Actually it was said that IndieGoGo took a chunk off the money as a fee, then PayPal did the same, and then Uncle Sam took a chunk as income tax, resulting in a little under 300,000 dollars. I believe Kevin Finn and Sean Keegan said this during a video about crowdfunding on YouTube.

Think of it this way. If you go to the store and buy all new flooring for your house, it doesn’t automatically appear on the floors of your home. You still need to pay someone to install it. Your initial investment helped buy the flooring, but all that money went to making the movie. There is still a lot of money required to finish the project like creating the hard copies of the film and shipping it out, etc. And James can’t be expected to foot the bill for that.

Ashens movie was part funded by The Multiverse! (I believe he is a partner with them) This is $9.99 (about £6.40 here) it is worth every penny!
I’ve seen it out in the wild on various sites…. I only wish it would have had a UK cinema release as this EPIC movie deserves the big screen treatment!
Just buy it! James deserves the money as it'[s a great movie and a fantastic stand alone piece… there are nods to the fans but it is in it’s own universe that stands alone from the web series…… BUY IT! my daughter is here tonight (she’s 9) and shes gonna watch it with me (will be my 5th time)

The movie wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for us, that much is true. But there’s a difference between contributing and seeing a movie. I feel like everyone already knew that they’d have to pay to see the movie, it was never put in as any perk. But that completely aside, as a producer myself (didn’t make anything yet aside school projects), i know how much time and effort goes into making a movie, let alone money. I’m sure he used all of the money put into the movie from the indiegogo campaign, and a lot of his own funds as well. Don’t forget how much you need to pay for; costumes, locations, figurines, actors, sound crew, film crew, everything and everyone will need a pay of some sorts. As James also indicated himself, this movie has been 4 years of his life, that flew by in 2 hours. If i’d spend 4 years producing something, I’d want to see something for it in return as well. I’m also not one to bicker over 10 dollars to own a 2 hour long nerd movie. After seeing it, i’d say money well spend. That aside, I loved the movie, it had some hilarious moments that really made me laugh out loud!

I dont know what you mean by that and i dont give a shit either. Anyway, its great to have the movie being released on my birthday and on top of that being the first commenter. I usually dont give a shit about that but today i do because its special. Thansk for your good wishes patricia.

Don’t. I’m a huge fan of web series, watched everything ~5 times at least, but the movie.. oh god. It sucks. It only uses jokes from series, and other “new” jokes aren’t funny at all. The idea had a potential, but overall…. 2/10 only because I like nerd.

Huh. Why only 720p? Is it because James wants to save 1080p for the Blu-ray?

@Lukas Sprehn

I believe that he mentioned in the last update video that he had to bring the file size down in order to get it online, so I’m gonna guess that’s why.

Lukas Sprehn

September 3, 2014 at 3:43 am

@Cyberxon Yes I know that he said that, but the thing is that on Vimeo you do not have to do that. You can upload any file size. It does not matter. You can even add the option for people to download the original video file used when uploading, so if you upload a 4k video, it will stream in 1080p, but you can download the original 4k version.

The only one of my many players that would play the movie is Realplayer. I was suprised but Divx and Nero showtime wouldn’t run it.

Since I’m more of DVD and ITunes guy I can’t say anything about Vimeo On-Demand; but I can say this since I don’t use Netficks I don’t know know the Handel inde movies but As an Hulu Plus user I can say that YES they do offer hosting for inde movies for an fee on top of your Hulu Plus substitution; Yes you need Hulu Plus for them to host your movie unless they set-up an new rule since then.

If it’s region free just buy it no issues at all. Blu-ray doesn’t have that much of an issue since over 90% of Blu-rays region free and have NTSC TV, NTSC Japan, Pal A, and Pal B versions on the same disk. Making it an better choice if your something like an Aime fan or an Pod-caster since you can save alot money by just making 1 disk vs having to make 2 one for NTSC and one for Pal. You can do that on an DVD-R but lowers the time offered for the video. Form it’s max of 8 hours preside to about 4 to 2 hours preside.

OMG dude your a retard these last few posts. Saying fans got gyped. WTF go to the store and get a pre paid credit card. Or wait till it’s on DVD Blue Ray and buy it that way. You say the Credit card is your issue then two posts later you bitch about how it should be free to those who donated. Make up your mind about why you cant watch it. The truth is you can watch it, you just expect everything to be free grow up stop complaining like a lil bitch and buy the fucking movie. All the proceeds from kickstarter or indigogo whatever were put into making the movie. Now it’s time to make money off his year or two of fucking hard work that someone like you will never be able to understand because all you do is sit in your basement bitching on the net. You will never understand the long hours and dedication it takes to make a movie like this or any movie and complete an indie film and get it released as fast as James did. Some indie movies take years after debuting in theater and his was a couple months. Jesus fucking christ the nerve of some people

People still don’t get that the fundraiser was to produce the film and not pre-order it? The IndieGoGo.com page didn’t even say anything about getting a copy of the film, so even if people think this is BS, there really isn’t anythign for you people to complain about, since everything was made clear up front.

i didnt expect anything when i donated for this movie to hit the big screen, but as he has been talking about everyone being able to watch the movie and being thankfull for the fans to make his dream come true or whatever it was pretty much for granted that it would be free of charge… now alot of people that cant use a credit card will miss out after all, and i dont think thats fair to the community.
when he does this shit for a living, and the product is made out of his own budget, i will gladly pay whatever he demands…

Also, you don’t have to use PayPal. You can just pay directly with a credit card.

You do realize that time + money, im pretty sure he stiull own money to the bank and what not. When you donated it was never mentioned that it was for free. So STFU and buy a prepaid credit card no need of paypal.

Dear James R.
I have been an AVGN fan since 2006. Im only 26 mins into the film so far but I must say AMAZING job by everyone! I was a little leery about a 2 hour movie about the AVGN. Would it work? Would it be entertaining? Just finished the dream sequence and Im glad to say my thoughts before were unfounded. This is a great low budget movie (not even unintentionally bad!). The special effects have been great, all the made up video games, cover, signs, background stuff, this is BETTER than I imagined it. I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS on this movie, it works. Your hard work has paid off. I can’t wait to finish it and buy my own physical copy when they become avalible. FUCKING LOVE IT! Thanks for making it and tanks for doing it right.

Loved it in theaters and cannot wait for the Blu-Ray! Sounds great with all those awesome special features, thank you for taking the time and energy to put those together for us.
I am going to look into getting the Vimeo version, but I don’t have a computer at home (just an iPad) so might have to just wait until the Blu-ray.

Truly amazing James. Nerd fan since ’08 and I’ve been going nuts waiting to see this movie! Hope everything goes amazingly with the rest of the showings (wish I could’ve gone to one but we’re very far away), and can’t wait for the Blu-Ray!

I’ve just finished watching the movie. Was all the wait worth the result? Hell yes! =D
It was enjoyable all the way trough and it fully presented the charm all the cinemassacre productions have. Huge thanks to everyone involved, I am gratefull that I’m part of the fanbase ♥

Just finished looking the film
two words : FUCKING AWESOME !
It’s not a high budget film but it’s fun i would like to have a version with subtitles (english ones). But it was WAY worth 5$.

You shown that you had great filming skills even if some was a bit cheesy, but i hope it will help you go bigger, way bigger. And as your film says always care for your fans even if they can take care of themselves.

I’m having a problem… I purchased the video from Vimeo On-Demand. I even got a receipt for the order, but when I click “Watch Now” on my email, it just goes to the main purchase options page. When I go to my settings it says I have no purchases despite getting an email reciept. Help please?

Amazing job with the movie James! I’m proud to be a longtime fan of AVGN and Cinemassacre. This release was an even greater fulfillment than I expected. Thanks for pumping out the greatest shit on the internet!

Just finished watching, and I’m amazed by the production values. The team really nailed the visual effects in all styles; I especially enjoyed the model work, reminiscent of the movies many a kid including me and my brother shot… using plenty of fireworks of course! 😉

All and all, it was definitely the AVGN everybody is hoping for and is mostly managed to surpass the grossly inflated expectations that’ve been building over the years. Even the new characters seemed fitting to the sort of B-movie atmosphere you were going for. Loved the cameos, the shoutouts to classic movies and all the cliches you could cram in!

Extra shoutout to Bear’s _excellent_ work on the soundtrack.

Looking forward to new episodes, and seeing this pop up as a sort of weird cultish indie movie in the coming decades… and of course, the bonus features in the near future!

Thanks for the ride, and this is the first time in almost 8 years that I’ve come out of lurking on cinemassacre.com… thought this would be a good occasion for that, being a daily reader and all!

I have never been so excited to watch the credits of a movie my entire life. To the very end this movie was something original and I’ll be ready with my shovel to bury the next best… or worst thing that will spawn another masterpiece from the legendary James Rolfe.
